low-stress ideas for living a deeper shade of green
Ok, if you didn’t read part 1, Running with Mariel Hemingway, about my recent experience with Mariel Hemingway, please go read it now. It’s not long. We’ll wait for you to catch up. Go ahead . . . Anyone that knows me for 5 minutes (or looks at a recent image of me) knows that [...]
Maybe I’m just a fickle gal, but it seems that I fall in love with the last car I test drive. The Chevy Volt is my 4th week-long review ride, and as of now, it is at the top of my real-world, eco-ride list. Sandy totaled two of our cars (with one tree!), and my [...]
Our technology fairy didn’t fall asleep this week, but she was a little late to the party! We missed the first 10 minutes of the show, which was mostly witty BS. The show starts in the middle of our initial conversation about the Chevy Volt I’ve been test-driving and reviewing this week. We had some [...]
The title of this article is metaphoric only, because I assure you there is no way I could physically keep up with Mariel Hemingway, if I ever had the opportunity or notion to run with her! And yes, it is my clever way of trying to weave in her two current projects — a documentary [...]

After events like the recent Boston Marathon bombing or the Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting, my initial reaction is to be frozen as if shot in the gut with a laser gun set on stun. It’s hard to breath, to speak, to choke out words of any meaning. I will cry, watch too much news [...]
Since I was a kid, I’ve been a sucker for a big veggie salad as a meal. I stumbled upon a curry vinaigrette back when I was pregnant with my second daughter. I craved it and used to make my poor husband run down to this little cafe and get me a salad with this [...]
I posted about the first 2 days of my Kaeng Reang 3-day healthy detox earlier in the week. I started the week out by drinking the smoothies in my Ringo Starr glass – I have a collection of Beatles glasses that I LOVE. Please check out the first post (it’s a quick read. go ahead, [...]
Yes, that is an image of Ringo Starr (drummer for the Beatles in case you live under a rock) on my designated detox smoothie glass.
